Haha, just read your Eurovision Songfestival comment and I have to say: I'm from Europe and even we think it's crap :D

tho i recognized your tong'n'chic, there's good and bad music everywhere. I have no idea what 'eurovision' is (oakenfold, perhaps? gag.), but it sounds like the equivalent of the C&W or R&B awards, american survivor (ashley/chutney simpsin/aiken et al) or briteny spears. (tho, her recent paparazzi song actually contained some rmx potential.)
Mainstream music in the USA went AWOL after hip hop (mid90's), and a little more than a generation later, still hasn't shown up.

European music is fine. American music is lame.

I've got to say - the bakfiets (and I'm guessing any good cargo bike) really made me feel liberated.

I really do not need a car to take care of my needs. I can haul crap, kids, whatever.

I've loaded that thing down with pinatas, cake, and beer. It has been stuffed with old furniture and knick-knacks that I've dropped off at the local church charity. Heck, I've ridden my daughter around town in the thing.

Sorry to ramble!

Great article, thanks for highlighting this variety of bicycles. Hopefully the market for them will only grow in the next few years.

I've considered getting a trailer to better enable local grocery/hardware/etc. by bike (or even overnight bike-camping trips in the Angeles Nat'l Forest), but so far I've been unable to reconcile the couple hundies that would be required.
